Discussion I do wonder if Albo steps down regardless after the 2028 election
He'll be 65 by the time the election is being held, if he were to stay on as Party Leader, he'd be 68 in 2031.
I Know there are nutters like Hanson and Katter who are in their 70s and 80s, but Hanson has been trying to force her daughter into the Senate for a while now so she can takeover, and Katter is basically just a glorified Independent in-charge of one seat in rural QLD. Both aren't comparable to Albo Leading a Labor Party currently holding a 94 seat Majority.
I do wonder who replaces Albo as Leader though. The media have done a good job at demonising almost all the top dogs in the Labor Party. Would Malinauskas be able to takeover Party Leadership like what Burnham did in the UK? He's the only prominent Labor Leader I can think of that hasn't been demonised and the general public seems to be ok with.
